Employment

At On Track Community Programs, we focus on helping people make realistic work choices. Our Employment Service Consultants will match the individual's skills with those required to fulfil their ambitions - helping them to achieve their employment goals - faster.

We can help you to identify and use these skills to gain and retain a rewarding and stable career.

At On Track we realise that you are not your disability. And that's why our aim is to work with you and your employer to focus on what you can do - not what you can't.

With access to a range of existing internal and community-based support services, On Track is able to provide individualised support that is both flexible and responsive to your changing needs.

Once you have been accepted into the program you'll be assigned an Employment Consultant who will assist you to develop an Individual Plan designed to ensure that you are prepared for an enjoyable and rewarding work life.

The Employment Service offers support in:

·         establishing realistic choices of work
          and ambitions

·         identifying and sharpening existing skills

·         identifying and training for required skills; 

·         preparation for job interviews

·         on-the-job support as and when required

·         ongoing support and guidance.

Note:
The Employment Service is available to
those living in the Tweed Shire.
